NEW YORK - AUGUST 14: A woman shops at a Fairway grocery store August 14, 2008 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. A new government report has shown that U.S. inflation has risen to a 17-year-high annual rate in July, led by gains in energy, food, airline fares and apparel. Consumer prices rose by 0.8 per cent in July, which means that the cost of living in America is rising at a rate of 5.6 per cent over the year as a whole. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

Department of Consumer Affairs data shows 370 of 650 stores visited by inspectors last year received at least one summons. Violations ranged from overcharging and faulty scales to improperly labeled products.

No manager was available to speak at the Pioneer Market. According to an employee who answered the phone and refused to give his name, an old manager was fired due to the fines. “That’s why we have a new manager now,” the employee told NBC New York.

The Department of Consumer Affairs data was first reported in the New York Post, which filed a Freedom of Information request to get it.
